When searching for a business name, if the name is too long you may have better results when only entering part of the name.
If you don't know the full business name or in what order the words in the business name appear, a keyword search may help you.
When performing a keyword search, make sure to use a word that is less common. A more common word might cause too many results to be returned.
The business entity database is comprised of more than 300,000 names. A search would take too long if we allowed all results to be returned, so the
results are limited to the first 400 that match the criteria you enter.
When searching by a business entity ID number, please be sure to not use dashes or spaces. A business entity ID number is not the FEIN (Federal Employer
Identification Number). The business entity ID number is assigned by the Secretary of State's office.
The business entity database should not be used to search for name availability. Different search logic applies when searching electronically for availability of a
name. Merely searching through the businesses entity database will not yield an accurate result. For name availability you must perform a true Name
Availability search.
If you are unable to locate a business, it is possible that they have not filed in Kansas or that they are a sole proprietorship, D/B/A, assumed name, fictitious
name or trade name. These entities types do not file in Kansas.
